Chapter 4 Surfacing

When Qiantan returned to King Jian's mansion, Zhao Kan Chufang released the scroll in his hand. Since yesterday, Huang Yuanli, a member of the Zhongshu House, brought the news of Gao Ai's edict, Zhao Kanchu has some understanding, but he still has a little bit of a clue.

Although the current situation is turbulent, it is only an undercurrent surging, and we still have to behave. Among the ministers, who pretend to be wise, keep their eyes on flattering everywhere, and seem to have no quarrel with the world, but in fact they are concerned about wealth and glory; those who are indecisive do not flatter either side and do their duty faithfully and dare not ask too many questions; the most scheming and calculating, judging the hour and sizing up the situation, and calculating the time and place are favorable, and only then can they finally stand on one side and the other. However, it is still early, and the enemy is at odds with each other, and it is not yet time to cut through the chaos with a quick knife.

Zhao Kanchu has always privately thought that Huang Yuanli and his party have held some real power in the three provinces and six departments, and they are all judging the situation, but now they don't know whether the cup handed over is a tribute wine or a wine wine, and there are doubts in their hearts that Gao Ai's matter is attributed to Bianqi.

Guibian Qi is famous in the rivers and lakes, and all factions are incompetent, and Feng Ci is a well-known person in the rivers and lakes, Zhao Kanchu was able to meet because of the "fate" three months ago.

"What can I say?"

Hearing Zhao Kanchu ask, Qian Tan wanted to speak and stopped, but he said a lot, but he didn't seem to say anything, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Since the prince asked about the confession, he couldn't mix his own meaning in the answer......

Zhao Kanchu's face was already gloomy, and Qian Tan hurriedly said: "I just said that I want to see how Song Xun investigates the case, and said that Li Chen resigned and went to greet the prince." ”

Zhao Kanchu took in Qiantan's panicked look, Qiantan has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is a clever person in Su Rili, so he can't ask if Fengci is the wrong person?

In Guibian chess, killing people and acting are all in a group of three, the one who plans is called "watching the game", the one who stabs is called "chess player", and the remaining one person is silent watching chess, committed to the plan, and is in action. Zhao Kanchu looked down at the scroll, he was a chess player, if there was no hidden feeling, he should be a servant to watch the game, and the remaining person Qiao Yan was looking at the wind.

Among the three people in contact, only the most unfathomable, and it is not easy to get close, only a few days ago by Feng Ci to meet once, it is not easy to ask anything.

"What do you think?"

Qiantan only felt that his thoughts were very chaotic, and he followed the clues that he had just figured out, and then said slowly: "Could it be...... The meaning of the official family. ”

The scroll in Zhao Kanchu's hand quietly closed.

"What do you mean by the official family?" Song Xun looked at Sun Zhutou who was bowing his head in front of him and stood up.

From yesterday's incident to this morning's investigation, Sun Fu has always been timid. Song Xun was not unaware of Sun Fu's worries, but if this case was not clarified, he could not report it as appropriate, and it was the next policy to report all the furs found.

Sun Fu was silent for a long time, and Song Xun knew that it was necessary to think long-term to make this person useful, so he changed the conversation and said, "Do you have a clue about arresting Yan Sheng?"

Sun Fu shook his head, Zhou He hurriedly glanced left and right, stepped forward and said: "The city pass has added a prison army to increase the guards, and the search in the city is just to catch turtles in the urn. ”

Song Xun nodded: "Zhou Yan will go to meet with Meng Hunt quickly to coordinate the arrest." His eyes fell on Sun Fu again, "Sun Zhutou, I have something else to explain to you." ”

Outside the teahouse, the red leaves are sparse, and the sunset mountains in the distance are just in the season of white dew.

Feng Ci was slightly drunk, but he didn't allow her to be happy for a long time.

Feng Ci raised his eyebrows and said: "It's been an hour since the notice of arresting Yan Sheng was posted, we should go to visit the forester, and I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

Qiao Yansheng thought for a moment because he had some wine in his stomach, so he thought about it for a while.

Lin Wen, a forester, is a graceful and elegant, clever character, with thin eyebrows and eyes, talking about Fengyue is tender like water, and talking about business will be another capable and cunning. His father, Lin Zhongyan, was a wealthy man in Kaifeng City, so everyone who knew him in the city was called Lin Wen.

However, Feng Ci was detained in the Sumire Mansion for more than two months before March, and there were many people who "hadn't seen him for a long time", so why did he want to see this forester?

When Qiao Yansheng thought of this, he suddenly realized that his mind was not chaotic, and he really didn't know what the meaning of this move was.

"Why the visit?"

Feng Yu didn't answer, looked at the servant, and said coldly: "But because of the person in Qiantan's mouth?"

"Exactly!" Feng Ci looked back at Qiao Yansheng again, "If what Qiantan said is true, the people of this Zhongshu are nothing more than Meng Shu, the waiter of Zhongshu, and Huang Yuanli, the Zhongshu She, if Meng Huo brings the news to King Sumire's mansion, it is Zhang Pu's meaning, it is the emperor's threat, and it is nothing more than to frustrate King Sumire's spirit." ”

Qiao Yansheng nodded suspiciously, and laughed again, this passage was clearly bluffing Qiao Yansheng.

Feng Ci continued: "But the emperor is in a big circle now, and he will never do such superfluous things. ”

This time, Qiao Yansheng was able to hear again, "What kind of circle are you going around?"

Feng Ci waved his hand, "This circle has the opportunity to talk to you in detail, and the most important thing at the moment is Huang Yuanli." ”

He continued: "Huang Yuanli has some personal relations with the privy envoy Chen Xianliang, Chen Xianliang and Zhang Pu are incompatible, and Chen Xianliang is also an old fox, this move should be to test whether King Jin has the ambition to rule the world." ”

"Wrong," the voice of the servant did not fall, and he said solemnly: "Now the court is Zhao Huaiquan, the king of Yongjun, who leans towards the government and the opposition, and Zhao Yi, the first emperor and the crown prince, is Zhao Huaizuo who helped him ascend the throne, and the two should be deeply affectionate." But Zhao Yi was worried about centralizing power, and in the name of comfort, he gave Zhao Kanchu a title two levels higher than Zhao Huai, but because of this, he could no longer exploit Zhao Huai's authority. In my opinion, if the person in this book is Huang Yuanli, it means that Zhao Huai is going to rebel. ”

The two frowned and pondered, but Qiao Yan was too lazy to think about it, and hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?"

Although Zhao Huai has shown his loyalty in recent years, Zhao Yi's dragon chair is not stable. Zhang Pu seems to be dedicated to Zhao Yi, but there is no way back for Zhao Yi. It must be someone close to Zhang Pu who secretly pointed out Zhao Huai and gave Chen Xianliang a clue. Zhao Huai's rebellion succeeded, Zhang Pu was still able to sit firmly, the rebellion failed, and he sold his cronies. ”

Feng Ci sighed, "The danger of being an official in the DPRK is extraordinary, Chen Xianliang is serious, and he is willing to start with at least two benefits in what he is planning." Chen Xianliang should have been waiting for a long time when he learned of Zhang Pu's measures. Now that he is shooting, it must be Zhao Huai's counter. It's just that I can't figure out who this person close to Zhang Pu is, and he has no clue as the person who went to the Mumao Dart Bureau that day. ”

The Privy Council holds the tiger talisman and the military register, and the Zhongshu Province can be said to hold half of the civil and military power. Chen Xianliang acted rigorously, was cautious in his words and deeds, and was an important minister in the DPRK and China who could compete with Prime Minister Zhang Pu.

He was puzzled: "What benefits did Chen Xianliang get?"

"Zhao Kanchu came to prominence a few years ago when Qian Tan came to be a staff member. Huang Yuanli just brought the news of the oracle earlier, and how this move will be realized depends on Zhao Kanchu. If it is really Qiantan's assistant that Zhao Kanchu is getting better, Qiantan and Zhao Kanchu discuss this matter, the two will go to Chen Guogong's mansion to visit privately; if Zhao Kanchu is eloquent and strategic, Qiantan is just the beginning, Zhao Kanchu will not cause misunderstanding and take the risk of visiting Chen's mansion, and Chen Xianliang's meaning can be known in two or three sentences in the court. Chen Xianliang is the ambition of King Jian, and the second is the reality of King Jin. ”

After these words, there was silence in the private room.

Qiao Yansheng didn't quite understand what he listened to, so he simply didn't want to think about it, and mentioned the current matter again.

"Speaking of which, why did we go to see the forester?"

"It's inconvenient for you to show up, the Lin Mansion is not far away, take the carriage of the Lin Mansion to the post house to explore the city pass, and then inquire with the forester about the coming and going of Kaifeng's goods, and then you will know whether the rebellion is implemented. Feng Ci smiled: "Before Qiantan was a staff member, wasn't it a doorman outside the forester." ”

The rain had long since stopped, and the wind was covered with mist.
